Hi
in VBA use the format method. e.g.
fname = format(Range("B2"),"dd/mm/yyyy")

When manually opening a csv file in excel, a cell ("b2") shows the
date as
'04/10/2004' (dd/mm/yyyy). When opening this file through a macro
using the
following code.
"Workbooks.opnetext filenae:=wmspath$ & "csv\" & datafilename"
The date in cell ("b2") has changed format to '10/04/2004'.
(mm/dd/yyyy)
Does anyone know how to stop this date switching, I have checked
settings in
regional options with short date format of "dd/mm/yyyy".
Cheers Jonathan
